opalborn:elecktrum:lokibubbles:#okay#so in one little exchange#edmund shuts down miraz’s attempt to patronize him#corrects his knowledge#states that he is king and thus miraz’s equal#makes a witty joke about his title of the Just that sails right over miraz’s head#humbly affirms peter’s higher authority#and finishes off by making miraz look like an idiot#in under a minute he reverses and takes control of the entire discussion#as easily and casually as if he’s having a chat with reepicheep#lewis says that he was the diplomat-king#and my headcanon is that he was head of narnian espionage as well#because look at this boy#how he dances with words#how he masters men three times his age#and tell me he wouldn’t be absolutely LETHALthat’s my boy.This is why Edmund is the Slytherin, not “zomg he betrayed them”. He is cunning, skillful, and not above underhanded jabs or playing on multiple levels at once. His pun flies over Miraz’s head, sure, but do you think it flies over the heads of all of his ministers? This speech is intended for more than Miraz’s ears, and Edmund is acting for multiple audiences at once. -- source link
